VeganMofo (month of food) Post 17. Mom’s recipe. We are north Indian and eat a bunch of different types of whole beans, peas and lentils cooked in simmered sauces of onion or tomato or both, with different spice combinations and such and served with whole grain flat breads like Roti/chapati or with hot Basmati Rice, Indian pickles, salads and other condiments.
So that is where we get out protein! (answering the age old question by non vegans about where we get protein)
 
Vegan black Eyed Pea Curry Indian Recipe | Vegan Richa
There are some bean curries already on the blog .. Red Kidney Beans Curry and multiple versions of Chickpea curry(Chana masala).
You can convert this black eyed pea curry into a hearty soup, by mashing it a bit and addition of some chopped celery and potato and serve hot with garlic bread!

    Can I make this without asofetida? If so, what in the taste will I be missing?
